Cab Calloway
& HarlemThe
Renaissance

Cab
Calloway was a prime founder and mover connected with the music, dance, dress,
language, folklore, humor, values, and attitude of the Harlem Renaissance.Through his mastery of the mass
media of his day, Calloway showed us a non-judgmental, consistent, and genuine
love of human life and living.

Cab
Calloway, like the Harlem Renaissance, transcended racial, ethnic, educational,
cultural, and class distinctions.He
was able to reach out and appeal expansively to America and around the world,
surpassing limitations and roadblocks, while remaining optimistic about our
destiny and not ignoring the truth.
